Simon Brown : ... in Italy. 27C in Rome, warmest it's been for 142 years. http://www.tagesanzeiger.ch/dyn/news...er/432675.html Just as well there's no skiing in Rome then! What are the temperatures like in Laax? Any prospect of an early start to the season yet? Adrian -- Adrian Shaw ais@ Adran Cyfrifiadureg, Prifysgol Cymru, aber.

At the moment it's very mild but should snow a tad over the weekend.

Where's Laax? Do they ski there, or is it just a place made up by Simon.

"It's too busy - it's the weekend and it's full of tourists." I think he was just wimping out, actually, as he didn't want to show himself up ;-) Seriously, not a bad place, although is was very icy off-piste the w/e we were there. Just a bit out-of-the way for us, though. -- Ace (brucedotrogers a.t rochedotcom) Ski Club of Great Britain - http://www.skiclub.co.uk All opinions expressed are personal and in no way represent those of the Ski Club. |

Ace : Seriously, not a bad place, although is was very icy off-piste the w/e we were there. Just a bit out-of-the way for us, though. The piste maps always looked good to me (except don't they have some sort of weird piste classification on them?), but driving through in the summer a few years ago I must say it didn't look to have a lot of character.

Felly sgrifennodd Ace :
It's a ski resort, FFS, it's not supposed to have 'character' :-) That may apply to the French resorts, but it's not generally true of the Swiss ones I know, nor the Austrian ones. I have yet to stay in an Italian ski resort. Character of the resort is very important for me. Character also tends to mean quieter night-life, therefore better sleep, so better skiing.

Well you can get a good night's sleep here, if anyone is coming this way ask
my for eating recommendations - we have some nice places in Flims / Laax / Falera. I'll also tell you the places to avoid. If you are after a relaxing holiday you can do a lot worse than Laax although I saw yesterday that the tickets have gone up in price to SFr 61 a day - how a family affords a holiday I do not know! -- Simon Brown www.hb9drv.ch "Adrian D.
